📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Corinthians beat Ceara 0-1 at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo, Regular Season - 14, in the Serie A. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Ceara 1.18 xG and Corinthians 0.82 xG, a combined 1.99. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Ceara fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Ceara attack 0.87 / defence 0.98 against Corinthians attack 0.90 / defence 1.06, drawn from 12/51 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Ceara 44% | Draw 32% | Corinthians 25%, with Ceara to win its most likely call at 44%. Instead the game produced a Corinthians win, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 32%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 60% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 39% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Ceara 33%, Corinthians 50%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 42%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Ceara's trading profile (12 games, 5 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Corinthians's trading profile (12 games, 5 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Ceara 1.50 PPG, Corinthians 1.25 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Corinthians win broke the near-deadlock. Ceara (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.20 scoring average — below par going forward. Corinthians (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.80 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
